I met up with Brigitte, Ros and 7 other keen visitors to walk around the Botanical Gardens at night. The weather had been wet the night before which was perfect for spotting lots of different insects, bugs, spiders, frogs, dragonflies, snails and mushrooms. We started off at the boardwalk at a leisurely pace immediately spotting a couple of sleeping rainforest snails, followed by all sorts of insects, moths, bugs, crickets, sleeping dragonflies, spiders. (I had especially wanted to see a net casting spider and Brigette didn't disappoint - I saw two during the evening, along with huntsmen, northern jewelled, wolf, and Australian tarantula and then came the frogs - amazing and lots of them. We also spotted the Papuan Frogmouth and a Pademelon - there was a lot of wildlife packed into a two hour tour. I highly recommend this for anyone visiting Cairns. Its close to the city, easy to access and very well run. Brigette is a great host. Thank you Brigette for an amazing evening.

Bridgette’s tour was amazing. Her knowledge of the different bugs is spectacular from their names, locations, habits etc… She gave me lots of technical tips and we saw a myriad different bugs. I am seriously considering joining the yearly membership and look forward to our next meeting. I highly recommend the Lets Go Bugging Tour !

I had an absolutely incredible time on this bug and nature walk in the morning. I was able to see many different types of spiders, moths, butterflies, beetles, etc. Bridgette is very knowledgeable and has a meticulous eye for pointing out the various insects and arachnids. I would recommend this tour to anyone!

It was absolutely a wonderful experience. I saw many unique bugs that I had never seen in my country, Japan & they were breathtakingly beautiful. Besides, having detailed explanations by a knowledgeable tour guide made me more understand & curious. Although I joined this tour with my boyfriend, it was much more fun to take around with other joiners from different countries.
